The eclipse occurs at 5:55 PM August 5th PDT; technically, the eclipse itself starts a few minutes after exactitude, but I think it’s reasonable to look at the moment of first contact, so here we are. And what do we see? No contact, using our strict two degree orb rule, except for a puzzling semi-square to the Ascendant (a ‘So what?’ position), and a sesquiquadrate to the Part of Fortune. But, if we stretch our rule just a hair (and what are rules for, if not to stretch hairs over), we finda Fist of God, with sesquiquadrates to the Part of Fortune and Ceres (aka Mother Nature). Ah! Now a picture is forming.

Am I reaching, using the Part of Fortune? Depends on how you feel about the use of the Arabic Parts in general, I guess, but for an ‘occasion’ (or an event, as I’m guessing this will be) it seems appropriate. Using it allows us to have some fun (or to frighten the bejezus out of ourselves, depending!)

So, the chart I’ve drawn is for Seattle, my current hometown, and eclipse time puts Pluto at 00 Cap–what’s built is destroyed, disruption to the status quo–just inside the 1st at a late Sagittarius Ascendant, which makes a tight quincunx to the South Node–what’s happened before will happen again? or is it what’s been destroyed before, etc?–with Part of Fortune exact on the Descendant. Hmmm. Add the Nodes in crisis at 29 degrees, the aforementioned Fist of God, with component Ceres spanking new in Libra–nature, balance, out of balance, at 00–and Ceres square to Pluto–stability lost, Mother Nature disrupted–are we looking at an earthquake chart?

Now, I don’t like to make predictions, because I believe that nothing, absolutely nothing, is set in stone, nor do I want to whip my readers into a frenzy, or earn the epithet ‘Crazy Julie’; but this is an intriguing pattern, worth noting–and if nothing happens, all the better, or the earthquakes are personal or symbolic–I’d be glad to be wrong.

I don’t want to expect a disaster, but with these measurements I might anticipate one, and my own research has matched contact to the angles with earthquake activity–but of course, there are zillions of contacts to the angles all day long–it just seems that when an earthquake does occur, there’s significant, precise contact–so stay safe, West Coasters! And no matter how flamingly wrong I am about this, the post will stay up–just so we can all laugh about it on the 6th.

“It is absolutely the perfect name,” Dr. Brown said, given the continuing discord among astronomers and the public over whether Pluto should have retained its planetary status.

In mythology, Eris ignited discord that led to the Trojan War.

I had problems sleeping too. I was on a very weird schedule for a long time, but since I've returned to CA, I don't general get up too late, and go to bed a lot earlier than usual. Last night was weird, I was up until 4 AM, thinking, and went outside and could almost feel the rays of the moon. It was odd, but nice.

Any thoughts on what could happen? Hopefully a new lucrative job! Lol.

so Moon conjunct Uranus/Pluto midpoint which oppose Sun

so Moon = Sun = Uranus/Pluto

Uranus/Pluto midpoint is currently in 13'33 Aquarius.

so the eclipse would seem to involve upheaval, intense change, unexpected transformation

meaning that the Moon only entered the penumbral shadow of the Earth. The Moon would appear gray, as though someone flipped a dimmer switch, rather than go completely dark.

any significant changes that a person might experience could be from the transiting Uranus/Pluto midpoint conjuncting,opposing,square that the angle,planet or any other object that was conjuncted,opposed,squared by the eclipse. Even transiting midpoints involving semisquare and sesquiquadrate are used in Cosmobiology.

It's important to isolate the effects of the eclipse from the effects of the Uranus/Pluto midpoint.

heck...I found out that transiting Uranus/Neptune midpoint in 10'45 Pisces is squaring my Midheaven in 11'14 Gemini, and that could indicate my problems with sleeping. Uranus/Neptune midpoint figures into insomnia.
